Garrett Construction Otsego MN
Expert Bathroom Remodeling Contractors

While coordinating your own project may seem cost-effective, professional GCs bring valuable expertise that saves time, prevents costly mistakes, and reduces stress. We handle all scheduling, ensure proper work sequencing, manage permits and inspections, and resolve unexpected issues that invariably arise during demolition. Most homeowners underestimate the complexity of bathroom remodels and the time required to coordinate multiple trades—what seems like a 3-month project often extends to 6+ months when self-managed.

Unlike companies that sell specific shower systems or prefabricated solutions, I work with your design preferences rather than pushing products. I specialize in custom remodels using the materials you select, whether that's subway tile, hex flooring, or custom vanities. My focus is on quality craftsmanship and bringing your vision to life, not selling you products with inflated margins.

My fee covers extensive behind-the-scenes work: vetting and coordinating reliable subcontractors, ensuring proper sequencing, managing materials delivery, handling permits and inspections, troubleshooting unexpected issues, and maintaining quality control. I've built relationships with skilled tradespeople who consistently deliver quality work and show up when scheduled. When problems arise—and they always do—I handle them so you don't have to, often before you even know there's an issue.

I've spent years building relationships with reliable subcontractors who meet my quality standards. Unlike homeowners hiring trades for one-time jobs, I provide ongoing business to my subcontractors, giving me leverage to ensure priority scheduling and quality work. I know which plumbers, electricians, and tile installers deliver consistent results and stand behind their work—knowledge that comes from years of experience in the local market.

Absolutely. While I'm happy to offer recommendations based on experience, I pride myself on executing your vision with your chosen materials. If you want subway tile rather than acrylic shower walls, I'll make it happen beautifully. I can also advise on material selections that balance aesthetics, durability, and budget considerations, pointing out potential maintenance issues or installation challenges without dismissing your preferences.

Unexpected issues are the rule, not the exception, in bathroom remodels. I build contingency plans and maintain flexible scheduling with my subcontractors to address surprises like hidden water damage, outdated wiring, or structural issues. My experience allows me to quickly develop solutions, obtain necessary approvals, and keep your project moving forward without the delays typical when homeowners must research solutions to unfamiliar problems.

I create detailed project schedules with realistic timeframes based on current material lead times and subcontractor availability. Unlike homeowners who might struggle to coordinate sequential tasks, I maintain relationships with multiple trades who work together efficiently. I schedule inspections promptly, ensure materials arrive before they're needed, and minimize downtime between phases of work—keeping your bathroom remodel on track and your home disruption to a minimum.

I manage all permitting requirements, ensuring your project meets current building codes. My subcontractors pull appropriate trade permits, and I coordinate all necessary inspections. This eliminates concerns about unpermitted work affecting future home sales and ensures your renovation is compliant and safe. Many homeowners underestimate the complexity of permitting requirements and inspection scheduling—I handle these details seamlessly.

I'm happy to provide references from clients with similar bathroom projects and invite you to view my portfolio of completed work. I encourage prospective clients to speak with my past customers about their experience working with me, particularly regarding communication, problem-solving, and the quality of the finished product. My business thrives on referrals and repeat clients—a testament to customer satisfaction.

I prioritize transparent communication, quality craftsmanship, and respect for your budget and design preferences. Unlike contractors who disappear after demolition or push unnecessary upgrades, I maintain consistent communication throughout your project and focus on solutions that meet your needs. I don't require large upfront payments, use high-pressure sales tactics, or surprise you with unexplained cost increases. My reputation is built on delivering quality results that match the vision you had when we started.
